Kommuna Lux Returns to U.S. with High-Energy Tour Supporting Ukraine Relief Efforts

“A joyful sound that makes it hard to sit still while hearing it.” — Isthmus

“You’d be hard-pressed to think of a more fun, entertaining way to support Ukraine than
to see Kommuna Lux.” — Arts Around Ann Arbor

From the “Pearl of the Black Sea” to the Western Seaboard, Kommuna Lux returns to
U.S. stages this spring, bringing their signature blend of Ukrainian folk, klezmer, and
Balkan swing to audiences. Known for turning concerts into vibrant cultural experiences,
the ensemble continues to channel its growing international platform toward urgently
needed humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Formed in Odesa, the group has earned a devoted following with performances that
capture the spirit, humor, and resilience of their hometown while honoring deep musical
traditions. Led by clarinetist Volodymyr Gitin and featuring Taras Luka (accordion),
Mykola Shevelov (drums), Yevhenii Beltiukov (vocals, guitar), and Serhii Zhuravel
(trumpet), Kommuna Lux delivers a sound that is emotionally immediate no matter the
language. Watch a clip here youtube.com/shorts/GAb3c-Cz-Zk

Through their nonprofit KMLX, Kommuna Lux has raised more than $50,000 in direct
aid, including specialized hospital beds for burn victims in partnership with the Rotary
Club of Ukraine, as well as rescue vehicles for frontline efforts.

Raised funds from this concert will benefit rehabilitation of children in Ukraine
